Scooby Doo's Mystery Machine Has GPS Navigation

Yes I am one of those parents who allows my children to watch cartoons at certain times of the day. Sometimes I feel like it is a better alternative for them than CNN or Fox News.

I sat down with them to watch Whats New Scooby Doo the other day. I was surprised to find out exactly what was new. The Mystery Machine has GPS navigation. My first thought was that this probably takes most of the mystery out of their road trips. The next thing I thought was that I do not know if I like this much.

Does everything really need to change? Do my favorite cartoon characters that I watch growing up really need cell phones, ipods, and facebook pages? Apparently they do.

I thought of other changes that I might find if the updated versions of other cartoons I used to watch were currently in production.

Wonder Woman would probably not be allowed to fly in her invisible airplane because of post 911 restrictions. Now she must at least place reflective stickers at random locations around her plane.

In order to save on fuel costs Speed Racer now creeps to his next adventure on an electric scooter.

Casper the Friendly Ghost now suffers from teen angst and would like to be referred to as Casper the Cranky Ghost.

Richie Rich has fallen on hard times, lives on the streets, eats out of dumpsters, and is an avid supporter of Barak Obama.

The Tasmanian Devil has undergone anger management therapy and was recently seen helping an old lady across the road.

Wile Coyote lost interest in the Acme Corporation and the Road Runner when he bought Microsoft cheap, cheap and now lives on his own private island in the Caribbean.

Daffy Duck is no longer Daffy but just a little quirky.

Bugs Bunny only eats organically grown carrots which are certified by the USDA.

These scenarios are all a little bit of fun. It really does not matter to me that the new version of Scooby Doo has new technology such as GPS. It was just amusing to me when I first saw it.

There is one scenario that will cause me to block The Cartoon Network permanently from my television.  That is if they bring out a new Popeye where he has lost interest in Olive Oyl and instead he and Bluto will be the first gay cartoon characters to be married in California.
